Margaret is among the most classic baby names, with a wide range of intriguing variations throughout the Western World. Familiar forms of Margaret such as Margot have become common independently of their mother name, although Margaret remains the most popular of all. Meghan, a variant of the Welsh name Megan, has risen in recent years thanks to Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife.
 
Along with Margot and Meghan, other international variations of Margaret in the US Top 1000 include Greta, Mae, Maggie, Maisie, Margo, and Megan. If you’re looking for a rarer international option, the German Gretel, Irish Mairead, Hebrew Margalit, or Estonian Meeri are fashionable options worth exploring.
 
Marguerite, the French form of Margaret is also a floral name that means "daisy." Although not on this list, you could consider a daisy-related name to honor an ancestral Margaret, such as the Dutch Madelief or even Daisy itself.
 
Margaret is a beautiful classic name, but if you’re looking for a creative update, a global variation may be right for your daughter. Look here for our entire roster of variations of Margaret from around the world.
